Objectives/Assignment
Find the measures of interior and exterior angles of polygons.
Use measures of angles of polygons to solve real-life problems.
Assignment: In-Class 11.1 A. Chapter 11 Definitions and
Postulates/Theorems. 11.1 NOTES – You have them or you
get a phone call.

Measures of Interior and Exterior Angles
You have already learned the name of a polygon depends on the number of sides in the polygon: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, and so forth. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon also depends on the number of sides.
4
Measures of Interior and Exterior Angles
In lesson 6.1, you found the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral by dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles. You can use this triangle method to find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any convex polygon with n sides, called an n-gon.(Okay – n-gon means any number of sides – including 11—any given number (n).

Measures of Interior and Exterior Angles
For instance . . . Complete this table
Polygon # of sides
# of triangles
Sum of measures of interior ’s
Triangle 3 1 1●180=180Quadrilateral 2●180=360
Pentagon
Hexagon
Nonagon (9)
n-gon n

Measures of Interior and Exterior Angles
What is the pattern? You may have found in the activity that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex, n-gon is
(n – 2) ● 180. This relationship can be used to find
the measure of each interior angle in a regular n-gon because the angles are all congruent.

Polygon Interior Angles Theorem
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex n-gon is (n – 2) ● 180
COROLLARY:The measure of
each interior angle of a regular n-gon is:
n

Ex. 1: Finding measures of Interior Angles of Polygons
Find the value of x in the diagram shown:
88
136
136
142
105
x
Leave this graphic here and let them figure it out.

SOLUTION:
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any hexagon is (6 – 2) ● 180 = 4 ● 180 = 720.
Add the measure of each of the interior angles of the hexagon.
88
136
136
142
105
x
10
SOLUTION:
136 + 136 + 88 + 142 + 105 +x = 720.
607 + x = 720
X = 113
The sum is 720
Simplify.
Subtract 607 from each side.
•The measure of the sixth interior angle of the hexagon is 113.

Ex. 2: Finding the Number of Sides of a Polygon
The measure of each interior angle is 140. How many sides does the polygon have?
USE THE COROLLARY
12
Solution:
n
n )180)(2( = 140
(n – 2) ●180= 140n
180n – 360 = 140n
40n = 360
n = 90
Corollary to Thm. 11.1
Multiply each side by n.
Distributive Property
Addition/subtraction props.
Divide each side by 40.

Notes
The diagrams on the next slide show that the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any convex polygon is 360. You can also find the measure of each exterior angle of a REGULAR polygon.

Sports Equipment: If you were designing the home plate marker for some new type of ball game, would it be possible to make a home plate marker that is a regular polygon with each interior angle having a measure of:
a. 135°?b. 145°?
